Happy Tuesday! It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Topics.This week’s Tuesday Topic: Why are you thankful for running? You can write about this or any running related topic. Remember to link-up with Kim and Zenaida and the bottom of this post.
Why am I thankful for running? I’m always thankful for the ability to run, and exercise in general. Coming off of the last few years, running and exercise has helped me deal with so much.
I’m thankful to running for introducing me to amazing women
Running has introduced me to some pretty amazing women. I know for a fact that I would have never met them if not for running, so for that I am always so thankful. These women are a constant source of support and information – I learn so much from them!
I’m thankful to running for my virtual support system.
I’m so thankful for my amazing network of running and blogging friends. Runners are a bit of a crazy breed, so it’s nice to have friends to talk to about virtual races, injuries, Peloton, etc.
I am thankful to running for allowing me to come out of my shell
I am an introvert by nature. I really enjoy my alone and quiet time, which can sometimes hinder me from trying new things or meeting new people. Running has allowed me break out of my shell and be more open to these things. I no longer feel like a wallflower and have an easier time striking up conversations with people and really putting myself out there.
Tell me: Why are you thankful for running?
I hope that you have an amazing Thanksgiving with friends and family!
Sending you all a huge hug!

I’m thankful for so many of the same things running has brought into my life as well, especially friends, both in person and virtually!
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving holiday!
I totally agree with all your reasons.
Glad we are friends.
Thanks Darlene, and I’m so glad we meet through blogging and running!
Your first point hits home. All the friendships that have been formed through running! It’s very special.
Just today I went running with a couple from Germany that are visiting us in Cape Town. We jogged along for many hours without ever running out of a conversation topic!
These are the type of stories that I love to hear! Running does such a great job of bringing people together.
Where do I even start? Running has done all of the above for me as well. And, drum roll, it brought me a valuable friendship with my #KimTwin <3 I wished we lived closer; it withdrew be fun to share our conversations & laughs in person 🙂
**would (not sure how autocorrect got that one wrong)
I so wished we lived closer too – miss you!!
running has brought so many amazing friends into my life near and far. For that, I am ever so grateful!
I couldn’t agree more!
Running is a beautiful thing! It isn’t just for mental health or a hobby, it is much more than that. I am also grateful for it and for the opportunity to meet you.
I couldn’t agree more! This little corner of the internet always makes me smile. I hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
